Zeta Markets (ZEX) — price, funding and open interest
ZEX/USDT perpetual on Kraken: price 0.0008900, 24h turnover $2K. Updated in real time.
What this is
Decentralised financeZeta Markets — a derivatives protocol on Solana: perpetual contracts and options directly on chain, with no exchange in between. In its time this was one of the notable attempts to move onto Solana what centralised venues live on, betting that the chain's speed would let an order book run on chain. What this shows: the protocol now has no deposited funds at all, meaning the product has stopped while the token keeps trading on its own. It is useful to tell such rows apart from live projects: the price here reflects not demand for a product but speculators' turnover on a leftover ticker.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
